| How much energy is saved by the redesign? | ||||||
| 1. Find out what appliances are used in your chosen building and fill out column A. Add new appliances if necessary. 2. Find out the power consumption of each appliance in the original design by completing column B. The average power consumptions have been provided in column B. You can adjust the numbers according to which appliances are used in the building. Information on the average power consumption of an appliance can be found by performing an Internet search. The power consumption of a specific compliance model can be found online or on the tag of the appliance. 3. Enter the hours each appliance uses in the original design in column C. The energy used per year will appear automatically in column D. 4. Find out the power consumption of each appliance by completing column E using an Internet search. 5. Enter the hours each appliance uses in the new design of the chosen building in column F. The energy used per year will appear automatically in column G. 6. Compare the total energy usage in the original design (Cell D38) with the total energy usage in new design (Cell G38) and see how much energy is saved by the redesign. | ||||||
